Give AI a connected model of the facility
Document access is not engineering context. Novek converts the engineering information represented in PDF, image-based, and CAD P&IDs into explicit structured relationships that AI agents can reason over with zero hallucinations.
Document access is not the same as engineering context.
An AI system may be able to visually inspect a PDF or run OCR over a page, but industrial engineering decisions depend entirely on explicit relationships:

Why can't large language models (LLMs) just read P&ID PDFs directly?
Document access is not engineering context. While multimodal LLMs can OCR text or see visual blobs on a page, they cannot reliably trace complex 2D piping networks, resolve nozzle port associations, follow off-page connectors, or establish equipment hierarchies. They hallucinate connections on critical industrial queries.
How does Novek provide structured engineering context to AI agents?
Novek reconstructs static drawings into an explicit, typed engineering graph. AI agents, copilots, and LLM applications query this graph deterministically via REST APIs, GraphQL, or Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, receiving exact topological answers backed by pixel-coordinate proof.
What industrial AI workflows does Novek's engineering model enable?
A connected model enables workflows such as automated HAZOP assistance, equipment isolation planning, interlock verification, brownfield revamp impact analysis, work pack generation, and cross-document discrepancy auditing between P&IDs, datasheets, and registers.
How are AI answers grounded in source engineering evidence?
Every node, attribute, and connection returned by Novek includes direct provenance metadata: the source document name, sheet number, and pixel bounding box coordinates. AI agents can cite and display the exact visual evidence on the original drawing.
Do our drawings need to be in native CAD formats?
No. Novek transforms legacy PDF, scanned/image-based, and CAD drawings directly into connected data models without requiring pre-existing intelligent CAD authoring files.
